I must acknowledge that I’ve never called to vote before and this is actually the first season where I’ve watched every episode. I’ve enjoyed quite a few of the performances, but my favorite dancer pretty much from the beginning of the season has been Kayla. She’s definitely a favorite of the judges. I don’t think they’ve said a negative word about her. Still, she hasn’t always been at the top of America’s list. In the early rounds, voters put her in the bottom three girls several times. But the judges saved her each week.

I’m glad she’s made it to the finale, and I hope she wins. She’s facing strong competition from Brandon, though. He’s also wowed the judges. And Jeanine gets the award for most improved, so I wouldn’t count her out. Evan is adorable, but he’s probably my least favorite of the final four.

The results show begins at 8 p.m. Thursday on FOX. Who do you think will win?

Evan is the only contestant who has never been in the bottom 2 or bottom 3 this season…That tells you something…Last year’s winner Joshua Allen was also the only one who was never in the dreaded bottom 2 o 3……I think you will have to accept hearing that AMERICA’S FAVORITE DANCER WILL BE EVAN…..
